For mountain bike enthusiasts grades 8-12

VAMS mountain bike camps are the best way for shredders to spend summer weeks. These camps apply the same expert coaching concepts and practices that VAMS utilizes at our Academy in the winter and apply them to an individualized, in-depth mountain biking experience.

VAMS mountain bike camps host a seamless blend of skill progression with cross-country and downhill riding disciplines. The week starts off with kids building a strong riding foundation and progressing their skills in West Dover and at Vermont Academy’s private trail network. Then, the camp shifts its focus to downhill progression by collaborating with Highland Mountain Bike Park’s facilities and coaches, along with Thunder Trails, to bring our riders the highest level of riding at the best bike parks in New England. Give your shredder a summer to remember by signing them up for VAMS Mountain bike camps.  

Mountain Bike Camps start June 15th and run through August 15th.

Our camp is ideal for competent trail riders who are seeking to improve their confidence and build the skills necessary to take their riding to the next level. VAMS Mountain Bike Camps are open for riders from 6th grade to 12th grade. Our Monday-Friday Camps offer expert coaching, progressive trail riding, and trips to downhill mountain bike parks across the region - perfect for intermediate to advanced riders looking to push their limits.
